About Me

Ok, I walk a spiritual path towards enlightenment, my life is filled and surrounded by energies I choose to be around me, positive, live in the now, I enjoy d&m conversations, I choose my life to be stress free as much as possible, harmony and close friends.
I'm a commercial skipper with my own vessel (boat/yacht/ship) delivery business, quiet often take travellers with me on adventures on the sea, delivering boats from anywhere to anywhere, mainly around australia, NZ, New Caledonia, PNG etc, this is quiet often paid crewing positions, for female crew to work with me, duties are cook/deckie, in which I teach you everything and get you driving on watches, which is manning the auto pilot. Great experience as you get to travel and see Australia along the coastal towns and city's by boat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As above, my home, my surrounds, my knowledge and my spirit.
I currently live on a 45' yacht on the inlet at Port Douglas, close to town, come and experience living on a big boat for your stay in Paradise. We often catch mud crab and fish straight off the back of the boat and then feast on fresh seafood and wine 🍷.

(Guys, I get lots of requests by couples, if youre couples, I suggest you try another couch surfer in my area as I prefer single people to meet, no offence, I found couples tend to not mix as much and stick to themselves, which really makes me feel they might as well not be in my home in that case.)
